RE: Vaya con dios - Je l'aime Je l'aime
A nice cold pinot grigio renders the same chilling effect for this smooth selection. Here are the words Nikita, should you be tempted to sing along to the French half after a few sips (hic) of your starka
Je l’aime je l’aime Je ne sais pas pourquoi Je l’aime je l’aime Depuis toujours je crois J’ai de la peine Quand il est loin de moi Je l’aime je l’aime Mais il ne me voit pas Il disait Qu’il me voulait Moi je croyais Qu’il m’adorait Je l’aime je l’aime Depuis longtemps déjà Je l’aime je l’aime Je ne sais pas pourquoi J’ai de la peine Quand il est loin de moi Je l’aime je l’aime Mais il ne me voit pas Il disait Qu’il me voulait Moi je croyais Qu’il m’adorait Je rêvais…
Thanks for the lyrics, Liz! I heard the song many years ago for the first time but only now I ultimately learnt what it is about. Do you know what language the final part of the song is sung in?

RE: Vaya con dios - Je l'aime Je l'aime
on much needed lighter note...
Hi Nikita,
I have it on good authority from my friend from Herzegovena that Dina Klein is singing in a gypsy language ( Roumani?) in the second part. I was humming it for her and she recognized the anthem it is based on.
The Gypsy anthem is ‘Djelem, djelem’. Here is it’s common translation:
‘I went, I went by long roads, I met, I met happy Gypsies. Hey, Gypsies, where are you going from, with your tents, by lucky roads? many years ago I had a big family, but Black Legions murdered it… Gypsies of the world, come on, with me, Gypsy roads are open! It’s time to rise for Gypsies, and we’ll rise if we act!’
The main Gypsy symbols are a red or golden wheel and a horseshoe.

RE: Around Nikita's JUKEBOX
Hi,
I've never participated in any forum before. But today I discovered Nikita's Jukebox. And had to tell: Just loved it! And now, that I know the way to it, I won't forget. I am amazed (and pleased!) to Cesária Évora among the list. Allow me to introduce another portuguese singer, if you don't know already: Mariza. (www.mariza.com). You can also find some videos on YouTube. One of the finest fado singers, in my opinion. Hope you'll enjoy it.

RE: Around Nikita's JUKEBOX
Thank you, Jacek. I'll be waiting for that film. I hope, though, to hear some portuguese voices singing fado, because it sounds a little bit funny to hear brazilian ones, as it sounds funny to hear portuguese singing samba, in spite of the beautiful voices on both countries. If you enjoy hearing fado, you may try some of the following: Carlos do Carmo - http:/delta03.no.sapo.pt/carloscarmo.html Camané - www.camane.em.pt Mafalda Arnauth - www.mafaldarnauth.com Olga
